Drink every time someone says a first person shooter has nothing "important to say." Also when someone vaguely refers to the current "climate." The deep dives that Far cry 4 took on Indian/Nepali culture and use of little helicopters really set up some heavy expectations.

I am perplexed by the cultural appropriation thing with Horizon. I come at it from the perspective of a European, because while the devs are European, Giant Bomb is American and the reflexive cultural appropriation response seems to me to be an Amerocentric one. We've had tribal culture and history and animism in Europe since the earliest parts of mankind. To me that critique is a different kind of narrowmindedness, one where every story is judged against the history of the United States, or where every story is assumed to be authored by Americans. It reminds me of the misguided critique against The Witcher when Wild Hunt came out.
